Re 1861 census Margaret witter and her sister Sarah are registered as Servant& Nurse. This is a public house, is it possible this was a  private residence in 1861?
I cannot seem to find any history on the building itself. ???

At a guess I would say that Sarah is the house servant to the family and Margaret is the nurse/nanny/mother's help for their young daughter Alice. Head of house is the Innkeeper but it looks like the sisters worked for the family rather than in the pub.

The pub is still in existence today, if you fancy a visit. Just Google Saracens Head Halsall.
